BEFORE STARTING

THE ENGINE

1. The area within a perimeter of

15 m (50 ft) of the person using the product should be considered a hazardous area into which no one should enter. If necessary, yellow warning rope, warning signs should be placed around the perimeter of the area. When work is to be performed simulta- neously by two or more persons, care should also be taken to con- stantly look around or otherwise check for the presence and loca- tions of other people working so as to maintain a distance between each person sufficient to ensure safety.

2.Check the condition of working area to avoid any accident by hit- ting hidden obstacles such as stumps, stones, cans, or broken glass.

IMPORTANT

Remove any obstacle before begin- ning work.

3.Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and fuel leakage. Make sure that the cutting attachment

is properly installed and securely fastened.

4. Be sure to attach the cutting at- tachment guard securely in place, or you may get serious in- jury.

5.Always use the shoulder strap. Adjust the strap for comfort be-

fore starting the engine. The strap should be adjusted so the left hand can comfortably hold the handlebar grip approximately waist high.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Keep bystanders and animals at

least 15 m (50 ft) away from the

operating point. If you are ap- proached, immediately stop the engine.

2. The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch mechanism, so the cutting attachment begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started by putting the throttle into the start position. When starting

onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the cutting part nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacle when the engine starts.

WARNING

Never place the throttle into the high-speed position when starting the engine.

3.After starting the engine, check to make sure that the cutting at- tachment stops rotating when the throttle is moved fully back to its original position. If it continues to rotate even after the throttle has been moved fully back, turn off the engine and take the unit to your authorized KOMATSU ZENOAH servicing dealer for re- pair.
